Martha Stewart’s Dog Gave her 9 Stitches

Last night Martha Stewart, 69, went to the hospital to receive 9 stitches after her pet bulldog, Francesca, head butted her.

The incident occurred when Stewart “leaned down to whisper goodbye to a dozing Francesca.”

The 69-year-old continued to say, “I must have startled her because she bolted upright with such force that she hit me in the face like a boxing glove hitting an opponent’s face. I was entirely startled and my neck snapped back. I felt a bit of whiplash as blood gushed forth from my split lip.”

The domestic diva rushed out of her Bedford N.Y. home and went to the emergency room. Stewart had her plastic surgeon meet her at the hospital.

Stewart documented the entire ordeal with pictures and posted them on her blog.
